实验室标签打印机和标签带
The P-touch^® professional labeling systems by Brother^® provide the easiest way to print great looking labels for your lab, home or office. Brother^® printers have the ability to print on labels that provide a superior look. The innovative style of high strength laminated tape is abrasion, chemical, moisture and fade resistant. There is a wide selection of different label colors and styles that can be produced with different fonts and label sizes depending on your application. Labels can also be produced from information stored on your computer.

The science of P-Touch^® Lamination

The Tape Structure

The Brother^® laminated tape structure consists of six layers of material that are surprisingly thin, yet strong. The P-touch labels print on the underside on the laminate, sandwiching text between two layers of film, making the characters virtually indestructible.

Abrasion Resistance

The Brother^® laminated tape structure is durable and abrasion resistant. Brother^® laminated tapes are only slightly scratched in abrasion resistance tests after 50 round trip passes with a 1kg weighted sand eraser.

Chemical Resistance

The Brother^® laminated tape structure is water and chemical resistant. The laminated tapes were bathed in a variety of materials for two hours and they still managed to remain affixed to their surfaces with little damage. Even after caustic chemical spills, with a quick wiping, there is minimal damage to the tape.

Fade Resistance

Brother^® tapes are fade resistant. Brother^® laminated tapes were attached to coated metal plates that were placed into a fade-inducing chamber at 83°C for 100 hours to simulate a year in a sunny environment. Then the tapes were placed in a humidity chamber at 64°C for 400 hours to simulate a year in, not only heat and light, but water as well. Only yellow tapes showed significant signs of fading while other tapes showed little signs of fading to the eye.

Adhesive Strength

Brother^® laminated tapes will adhere to almost any surface including stainless steel, glass, polypropylene, acrylic, PVC, and polyester-coated wood. The tapes stand up to hot, cold （temperature range -10°C to 45°C）, and humid conditions （up to 80% humidity）. Smooth, rough, flat or rounded surfaces are no problem for these tapes. The industrial tapes have twice the adhesive of the regular tapes, allowing them to be applied to a much wider range of materials and under more extreme conditions. The security tape has a special adhesive so when the label is peeled off it leaves a checker-board pattern. This tape is used for permanently marking company equipment and assets.
